I figured that it would have a bitty more power and I liked the revised interior, also, I thought 'S8 beats A8, right?'.

Well, I've now had the FL S8 for a couple of years and without a doubt, it's the best car I've ever owned. Bar none.

But..........I preferred the gearing on my old A8 (and the lack of revving) and also my 'ye olde' P reg A8 was definitely nicer, in a quite intangible way. The accelerator pedal was deffo better and it had a kind of classier feel to it- more relaxed, I think.

Ideally, I'd like a 'besta' car. Besta both worlds.

I think an A8L, with S8 underpinnings and S8 power, but A8 gearing would be good. In black.

But... a FL S8 is a helluva good car!
